Colorful Variation of Jack and Jill Pattern
#13
I really like your quilt. Actually, that's a very old block (Twin Sisters) updated with a much easier way to make it. It also in Eleanor Burns book, "Quilts Through The Seasons." I played around with the strip width and found that using 3 1/2" wide strips will yield an 8" finished block. I also used different colored strips and made a scrappy version. I like your idea of adding the solid squares between the blocks. The recipients are gonna love it.

Most of the quilts I make are my own design. I will find a block I like and then 95% of the time I will build on that block. I just have to wait until the block speaks to me. Thanks for the kind words.
